not even from factory they're the same. You guys need to test drive one before talking smack

That's the perception.  I don't need to go out and test drive one.  The perception of the car is a $35-40K Lancer. 

You can drop $20 grand into a Civic so that it can smoke a Vette but it's still a Civic and you'll have a hard time adding $20 grand to the base price and selling that Civic/Scion/Focus for $40K

  

Holy crap, some of you should not discuss cars. The ignorance and clueless comments are laughable. No one "perceives" an EVO as a $40k civic. You are a fool.

Good riddance...most of the Evo drivers in my area are tools anyways,

That had, HAD to be sarcasm.

I would take a 328 over an Evo.  Most people I know would take the 328.  That's why you see so many 3 series on the road.

u see most people with 3 series cuz they can't afford a M3 and debadge it accordingly...where as a EVO you coppin no frillz rally car....its a literally as copping

a pair of jumpmans because they got a jordan logo VS copping a pair of foamposites which are technologically more advanced and cost more, and you having da

audacity to say "meh...i got on jordans still"

Ok, I can get with that but instead of foamposites, it should be some technologically advanced fila's.  Since Nike/Jordan is like the top of the line sneaks.  People gonna go for the Jumpmen instead of the advanced and higher costing Fila's.

There's a reason people are ridiculing you. Stop posting man. Seriously, you're embarrassing yourself.

The entire concept of the EVO is to build a rally car from the ground up. The AYC, S-AWC, turbo MIVEC, etc. are components that rival cars double the price. It shares nothing in common with a "Lancer" in that realm. Or else people would buy Lancer GTS and "mod" them to get to EVO levels.

It doesn't work like that. Same with the STi, same with the older GT-R's and their Skyline siblings. Get a #%@%@ clue before you post.

i see Mitsubishi tryin to shed their image and goin all in with hybrids and electrics...i like obama but if his policies continue to be a enemy

of domestic drilling and clasifying CO2 as a toxin imma have to vote for someone else in 2012....

i see da car market mirroring da sneaker market, where enthusiast aren't gonna cop new cars anymore and just maintain older more powerful

vehicles da way us sneaker enthusiasts basically just keep copping retros and don't even pay mind to da latest kicks from running or basketball

except a for a select few options such as lebrons (mainly cuz they're designed with a profile da way older kick were) and kobes

for flat out performance..

and now that everyone has access to da internet, its EASY maintain and service these older cars with TONS of aftermarket reproduction parts.

It sucks, it's like people these days just want "clean, green and hybrid" energy... good performance cars are a dying breed

Production of the current Lancer Evolution continues as planned.
As for its successor, regulations and market feedback will dictate its engineering package & architecture.

MMC has kept the Lancer Evolution sedan evolving as the brand's highest performing model in the global market. However, as the market's needs and demands change, MMC is considering not advancing the Lancer Evolution concept in the same way as before, but to find a different direction for the Lancer Evolution model to evolve. The new direction, the technologies involved, and corresponding products will be disclosed in due course.

Yeah, I remember hearing about a hybrid version as the XI but info has been short on that end.
